Question

why do you think the british introduced modern education in India

Answer 1

The British introduced Western education in India mainly because they wanted to fill in the vacancies in the government offices. The work required by the British required minimum English education whereas Indians were never introduced to this.

Bringing Britishers from Britain for these works cost them a lot of money and the migrants demanded a higher salary when compared to Indians.

Answer 2

After acquired the political power in 1765 Company’s educational policy

underwent a radical change. In order to win over the confidence of upper classes and consolidate its rule in India, the Company established some centers of higher learning and began to educate sons of influential Indians for higher posts.

The Calcutta Madarshas and the Banaras Sanskrit College were the beginning of the Orientalist School of Educational Policy.

The followers of this school felt that the company should neither support the missionary proselytization nor hastily attempt to teach western knowledge to the Indians. The Court of Directors also agreed with the orientalist views and tried to maintain these institutions of learning.

It is notable point that along with the educational activities of the Company, Missionaries also conducted educational activities under the political authority of the Company.

These institutions were the pioneer of private enterprise in education in the history of education in modern India.
